Well, the only reason I might be changing my mind is NOT because of my girlfriend. And...I know what you mean when you described the high school girls...seeing as I AM one. :uhoh21: I just...I started to think about the whole CRNA thing and it really started to scare me. I don't like the idea of having someone's life in my hands. I thought I was okay with it at first...when I was first looking into this career, but now...I don't think I can handle this. I was thinking about shadowing an Anesthesiologist...just because I knew him and stuff...I should probably find a CRNA, though, huh? Oh, and...I'm a junior. =] Thanks for the post

Yeah. I think I should find a different career... =[

I just remembered a couple more questions: As far as classes go, which ones do i need in high school? I'm thinking of taking AP Chemistry and AP Biology on the computer next year. Do I even need these? Is there other classes I should try taking instead? I'm from a really small school, so the classes that are available are very limited. We do have a computer program that has a very limited selection of AP and upper level classes and if I had an idea of the classes I should try and take, I could see if the program has them. And...how much schooling after high school am I going to need? I know I need a BSN, but what else is required? Is there an actual CRNA school? Do I have to go through a residency and such like an Anesthesiologist does? I think that's it...again, for now...until I think of more. haha. I hope that made sense. =]

I have a few questions that worry me a bit and I hope someone here can help me. First, is becoming a CRNA hard when it comes to the classes you must take? Second, my girlfriend is worried that I'm always gonna be working and that I'm not going to have enough time for her. Is this true? How much free time do you have? Third, do you feel secure as far as your finances go? I've lived in a household where we were living paycheck to paycheck all my life and I'm hoping becoming a CRNA will change that. Um...that's all I have for now. If I remember more, I'll post. Thanks. =]

Thanks! I was hoping these were the types of replies I'd get. Haha

I'm really interested in becoming a CRNA. I'm still in high school but I've been doing my research. During this, I read that CRNAs only work with women giving birth. Is this true? Or do they deliver anesthesia to any patient who needs it at the time? I've been confused about this all day, so I'd really like for someone to clear this up for me. Thanks!
